We are excited to host our third annual One IT Celebration Picnic. Join fellow One IT staff and meet new folx, including our new CIO, Tracy Schroeder! Bring a hat and sunscreen, we’ll provide lunch and lawn games.

Dear campus community, 

Six policies and additional related documents define acceptable use of the University’s technology resources.* To promote ease of reference and to follow best practices common at other institutions, Berkeley IT invites you to review a proposed consolidation of these terms into a single policy. We have updated the campus Computer Use Policy to incorporate these terms of acceptable use and have renamed it, “Acceptable Use of Technology Resources Policy (AUP).” 

To our campus community,

Last month we sent a campus-wide message to inform you of a necessary shutdown of our Data Center scheduled for Friday, May 31, 2024. After further consideration of potential impacts on campus operations, this planned shutdown will be moved to a new date to be determined in consultation with campus stakeholders. This work is required to support the campus research mission and to provide improved resilience for the Data Center to run on generator power during campus outages.

Dear One IT Colleagues,

This past Tuesday, several of our One IT colleagues were honored as recipients of the Chancellor's Outstanding Staff Awards (COSAs) during an award ceremony held at the Chevron Auditorium. Join me in congratulating all our award recipients for their hard work and dedication! 

Have you worked on something you’re proud of? Looking for a way to share it with a larger audience? Present it at this year’s UC Tech 2024: Collaboration for Transformation, from October 27-29, co-hosted by UC Davis Health and UC Davis! 

According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 1.3 billion people — 16% of the world’s population, or 1 in 6 of us — currently experience significant disability. Another 1 in 3 people are projected to experience a permanent or temporary disability in the next 10 years.

Do you work with student staff? If so, when was the last time you gave them a shoutout for work well done? It’s National Student Employment Week, a time to recognize student employees' valuable contributions to our colleges and universities. Observed annually during the second week in April, this celebration isn’t just about thanking students for their hard work, but also about raising awareness of the important skills and experience they gain through these positions, which can benefit them academically and professionally in the long run.
